This algorithm is baked in the NameNode's code. It would be nice > to make the block placement algorithm a pluggable interface. This will allow > experimentation of different placement algorithms based on workloads, > availability guarantees and failure models. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
